Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
917 Advisory Services LLC (“917 Advisory” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of the
State of Washington. 917 Advisory was founded in April 2024 and is owned by John A. Schram (“Owner and Financial
Advisor). The firm is operated by John Schram and Barbara J. Miller, CFP® (Chief Compliance Officer). This
Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services
provided by 917 Advisory.
B. Advisory Services Offered
917 Advisory offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the
Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts
of interest. 917 Advisory's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more
information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
917 Advisory provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous
personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and financial planning
services. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services – 917 Advisory provides customized investment management services for its
Clients. 917 Advisory works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. 917 Advisory will then construct an investment
portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the
Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, and bonds to meet the needs of its Clients.
The Advisor may retain other types of investments from a Client’s legacy investments with the overall portfolio
strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
917 Advisory’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate
positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions.
917 Advisory will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives,
circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable
restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
917 Advisory evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. 917 Advisory may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. 917 Advisory may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor
may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
917 Advisory may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital
gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
At no time will 917 Advisory accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority
as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian,
pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts
or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
917 Advisory Services LLC

Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634
https://www.johnschram.com/
Page 4
Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws
governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment
advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or
recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another
IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a
recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a
result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by
the Advisor.
Financial Planning Services – 917 Advisory will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services
as part of its overall wealth management services. Certain Clients may be offered standalone financial planning
services. Financial planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their
goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering
a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may
encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning,
personal savings, education savings, insurance needs and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations
may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings,
establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. 917 Advisory may also refer Clients to an accountant,
attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation.
For standalone financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial
situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide
a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming
all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase
the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made
by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the
recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the
Advisor.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Plan Sponsors may engage 917 Advisory to serve as a 3(38) Fiduciary to their plan and assume investment
discretion over the Plan. In such instances, the Plan Sponsor shall authorize this discretion to select and implement
the Plan investment options. Services generally include:
• Vendor Analysis
• Employee Enrollment and Education Tracking
• Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Support
• Investment Management
• Performance Reports
• Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance
• ERISA 404(c) Assistance
• Benchmarking Services
Financial Institution Consulting Services
917 Advisory provides investment consulting services to certain broker/dealers’ customers (“Brokerage
Customers”) who provide written consent requesting to receive the firm’s consulting services. Brokerage Customers
have entered into a written advisory agreement with 917 Advisory.

C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging 917 Advisory to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and
the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – 917 Advisory, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – 917 Advisory will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – 917 Advisory will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – 917 Advisory will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
917 Advisory does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by 917 Advisory.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025 the Advisor manages $167,507,315 in client assets on a discretionary basis. Clients may
request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each quarter based on the fair market value of portfolio
assets supervised by the Advisor at the end of the prior calendar quarter, or in arrears on a per quarter basis based on
the fair market value of portfolio assets under management in the Account at the end of the quarter pursuant to the
terms of the wealth management agreement. Fees are based on the market value of assets under management of the
prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees range up to 2.00% annually based on several factors, including: the
scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship
with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other
complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by
917 Advisory will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Financial Planning Services
917 Advisory offers financial planning services as part of its overall wealth management services and fees. The
Advisor also offers standalone financial planning services for an hourly fee ranging up to $200. Fees may be

Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634

Page 6
negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the
Advisor. An estimate for total hours and overall costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 2.00%. Fees are billed quarterly in
advance or in arrears pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan fees are
based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be
negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan but shall not exceed the fee range stated above.
Financial Institution Consulting Services
917 Advisory receives a consulting fee based on the Assets Under Management from Brokerage Customers who
have provided written consent to a broker/dealer to receive the investment consulting service from 917 Advisory
and have entered into a written advisory contract with 917 Advisory. The consulting fee is calculated from the
Assets Under Management as of the end of a calendar quarter period multiplied by the annualized rate up to 75
basis points. The initial fee is paid only after the completion of one full calendar quarter period following the date of
the executed agreement with broker/dealers.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated either by the Advisor or by the Custodian based on where the Clients’ assets
are held. For assets custodied at LPL Financial Holdings, Inc., wealth management fees are calculated by the Custodian
according to a fee schedule provided by the Advisor and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. For
assets custodied at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor and deducted
from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount
of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. For both custodians
referenced above, the amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total
assets under management with 917 Advisory at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement,
at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth management fee. Clients may make additions
to and withdrawals from account[s] at any time. However, reconciliations are performed on a quarterly basis to capture
if, at any point, assets are deposited into or withdrawn from an account after the start of the quarterly billing period. An
adjustment will be made in the form of a credit or debit the following billing period to reflect the interim change in portfolio
value from the date of the deposit/withdrawal until the end of the quarter.
Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the wealth
management fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by 917 Advisory to be
paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate
account forms provided by the Custodian.
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced by the Advisor and are due upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan,
depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Financial Institution Consulting Services
917 Advisory shall be compensated for its consulting services on or before thirty (30) days past the end of the
following calendar quarter.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than 917 Advisory, in connection with
investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities
execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge
securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms
and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds
917 Advisory Services LLC
917 S Monroe St, Spokane, WA 99204
Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634
https://www.johnschram.com/
Page 7
and other types of investments. The fees charged by 917 Advisory are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to 917 Advisory for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds,
other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of 917 Advisory, but
would not receive the services provided by 917 Advisory which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client
in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives.
Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by 917 Advisory to
fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
917 Advisory may be compensated for its wealth management services in advance of or in arrears the quarter in which
services are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing
advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five
(5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable
by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid wealth management fees from the
effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is
non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Financial Planning Services
917 Advisory is compensated for its financial planning services upon completion of the engagement deliverable[s].
Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the
other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the
Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory
services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the
Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate. The Client’s
financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees
The Advisor may be compensated for its services in advance or in arrears of the quarter in which services are
rendered pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Either party may request to terminate a
retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client
shall be responsible for fees up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will
refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the
quarter. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior
consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
917 Advisory does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for
securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Insurance Agency Affiliation
Certain Advisory Persons are licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products offered to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by the Advisory Person are separate and in
addition to investment advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an Advisory Person who is also
an insurance professional will have an incentive to recommend insurance products to the Client for the purpose of
generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation, contractual
or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see
Item 10 below.

Page 8
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
917 Advisory does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by 917
Advisory are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities
held by any Client.
917 Advisory does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund
or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
917 Advisory offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans. 917 Advisory generally does not impose a minimum relationship size.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
917 Advisory primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from 917 Advisory are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports,
prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria consists
generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed.
Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value
discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does
not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the
fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these
economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
As noted above, 917 Advisory generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. 917 Advisory will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold
for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, 917
Advisory may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client
and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should
be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. 917 Advisory will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy
based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet
their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
917 Advisory Services LLC

Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634

Page 9
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process.
Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will
fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based
on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-ask spread
and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from
the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point
in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate
of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was
previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds
the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated
with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment
obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating
which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk
that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price
as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving 917 Advisory or its owner. 917 Advisory values
the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any
advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available
on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm
name or CRD# 331476.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliation
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance
recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with the Advisor. As an insurance professional, the Advisory
Person will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose
products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company.

Page 10
Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset investment advisory fees. This presents a conflict of interest
in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or Advisory Persons.
Tax Preparation Services
Mr. Schram offers tax preparation services. Mr. Schram collects tax documents, prepares tax returns, and gathers
tax basis information to perform reviews and prepare pro-forma reports. These services provided are separate and
distinct from investment advisory services provided by the Advisor. The Advisor may recommend that Clients engage
Mr. Schram for tax preparation services for a separate fee. However, Clients are under no obligation to utilize the tax
services provided by Mr. Schram.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
917 Advisory has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with 917 Advisory (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was
developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client.
917 Advisory and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the
obligation of 917 Advisory’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to
the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and
conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (509) 328-5627.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
917 Advisory allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. 917 Advisory does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. 917 Advisory does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
917 Advisory allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated
by 917 Advisory requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the
misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While 917 Advisory allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to
and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At
no time will 917 Advisory, or any Supervised Person of 917 Advisory, transact in any security to the detriment
of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
917 Advisory does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and
authorize 917 Advisory to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
917 Advisory Services LLC

Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634
https://www.johnschram.com/
Page 11
Further, 917 Advisory does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
Where 917 Advisory does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the
Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended
by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by 917
Advisory. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not
engaged. 917 Advisory may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness
of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of
the Custodian’s offices. 917 Advisory will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at LPL Financial
LLC (“LPL Financial”), FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. LPL Financial will serve as the Client’s
“qualified custodian”. 917 Advisory maintains an institutional relationship with LPL Financial, whereby the Advisor
receives economic benefits. Please see Item 14 below.
The Advisor may recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a
FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. The
Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits. Please
see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation below.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters
into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other
services. 917 Advisory does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see
Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - 917 Advisory does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where 917 Advisory will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are
traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any
security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a
security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). 917 Advisory will not be obligated to select
competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction
costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. 917 Advisory will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. 917 Advisory may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities
are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block
trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of
each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written
statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’
accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Barbara J. Miller, CFP®, Chief
Compliance Officer of 917 Advisory. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
917 Advisory Services LLC
917 S Monroe St, Spokane, WA 99204
Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634
https://www.johnschram.com/
Page 12
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually.
Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major
changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify 917 Advisory if changes occur in the Client’s
personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be
triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements
are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s
website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include
all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with
periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by 917 Advisory
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with LPL Financial to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. The Advisor receives access to software and related support as part of its relationship with LPL
Financial. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling
its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be
aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these
benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not furnish similar
software, systems support, or services. Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from LPL
Financial: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that
exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate
securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic
communication network for Client order entry and account information.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
917 Advisory has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit,
a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like The Advisor. As a registered investment
advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, The Advisor receives access to software and
related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain
assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all
services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all
times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits
from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's
recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and
other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to
directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients but may
not directly benefit all Clients.
917 Advisory Services LLC

Phone: (509) 328-5627 Fax: (509) 328-4634
https://www.johnschram.com/
Page 13
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to The Advisor that may not benefit
the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support, consulting services and
discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to
recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of interest. The Advisor believes, however, that the selection of
Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all
assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities
and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review
statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about
custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Surprise Independent Examination
As 917 Advisory may be deemed to have custody over certain Client accounts and/or securities as part of their access
to Client login credentials, check writing authority and money moment pursuant to securities regulations. The Advisor
is required to engage an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets and
accounts over which 917 Advisory maintains custody. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm
are filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website (
http://adviserinfo.sec.gov)
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
917 Advisory generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be
subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to
by 917 Advisory. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such
authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable
limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by 917 Advisory will be in accordance with each Client's
investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
917 Advisory does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly
from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the
sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither 917 Advisory, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of 917 Advisory to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither 917 Advisory, nor any of its Advisory Persons,
have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. 917 Advisory is not required to deliver a balance sheet
along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to
be performed six months or more in the future.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® Professional
I am certified for financial planning services in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards,
Inc. (“CFP Board”). Therefore, I may refer to myself as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional or a
CFP® professional, and I may use these and the other certification marks (the “CFP Board Certification Marks”) that
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Center for Financial Planning, Inc. has licensed to CFP Board in the
United States. The CFP® certification is voluntary. No federal or state law or regulation requires financial planners to
hold the CFP® certification. You may find more information about the CFP® certification at www.cfp.net.
CFP® professionals have met CFP Board’s high standards for education, examination, experience, and ethics. To
become a CFP® professional, an individual must fulfill the following requirements:
• Education – Earn a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university and complete CFP
Board-approved coursework at a college or university through a CFP Board Registered Program. The
coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has determined are necessary for the
competent and professional delivery of financial planning services, as well as a comprehensive financial
plan development capstone course. A candidate may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through
other qualifying credentials. CFP Board implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007
and the financial planning development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP®
professional who first became certified before those dates may not have earned a bachelor’s or higher
degree or completed a financial planning development capstone course.
• Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The examination is designed to
assess an individual’s ability to integrate and apply a broad base of financial planning knowledge in the
context of real-life financial planning situations.
• Experience – Complete 6,000 hours of professional experience related to the personal financial planning
process, or 4,000 hours of apprenticeship experience that meets additional requirements.
• Ethics – Satisfy the Fitness Standards for Candidates for CFP® Certification and Former CFP® Professionals
Seeking Reinstatement and agree to be bound by CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct
(“Code and Standards”), which sets forth the ethical and practice standards for CFP® professionals.
Individuals who become certified must complete the following ongoing education and ethics requirements to remain
certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board Certification Marks:

• Ethics – Commit to complying with CFP Board’s Code and Standards. This includes a commitment to CFP
Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore, act in the best interests of the Client,
at all times when providing financial advice and financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP®
professional who does not abide by this commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP®
professional's services. A Client who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that
includes a fiduciary obligation to the Client.
• Continuing Education – Complete 30 hours of continuing education every two years to maintain
competence, demonstrate specified levels of knowledge, skills, and abilities, and keep up with
developments in financial planning. Two of the hours must address the Code and Standards.
Item 3 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, civil or disciplinary events to disclose regarding Ms. Miller. Ms. Miller has never been
involved in any regulatory, civil or criminal action. There have been no client complaints, lawsuits, arbitration claims
or administrative proceedings against Ms. Miller.
Securities laws require an advisor to disclose any instances where the advisor or its advisory persons have been
found liable in a legal, regulatory, civil or arbitration matter that alleges violation of securities and other statutes;
fraud; false statements or omissions; theft, embezzlement or wrongful taking of property; bribery, forgery,
counterfeiting, or extortion; and/or dishonest, unfair or unethical practices. As previously noted, there are no
legal, civil or disciplinary events to disclose regarding Ms. Miller.
However, we do encourage you to independently view the background of Ms. Miller on the Investment Adviser
Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with her full name or her Individual CRD#
5528952.
Item 4 – Other Business Activities
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Ms. Miller is also a licensed insurance professional. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate
and apart from Ms. Miller’s role with 917 Advisory. As an insurance professional, Ms. Miller will receive customary
commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. Ms. Miller
is not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales
do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of
the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by Ms. Miller or
the Advisor. Ms. Miller spends approximately 5% of her time per month in this capacity.
Item 5 – Additional Compensation
Ms. Miller has additional business activities where compensation is received that are detailed in Item 4 above.
Item 6 – Supervision
Ms. Miller serves as Chief Compliance Officer and Investment Advisor Representative of 917 Advisory. Ms. Miller
can be reached at (509) 328-5627.
917 Advisory has implemented a Code of Ethics, an internal compliance document that guides each Supervised
Person in meeting their fiduciary obligations to Clients of 917 Advisory. Further, 917 Advisory is subject to
regulatory oversight by various agencies. These agencies require registration by 917 Advisory and its Supervised
Persons. As a registered entity, 917 Advisory is subject to examinations by regulators, which may be announced or
unannounced. 917 Advisory is required to periodically update the information provided to these agencies and to
provide various reports regarding the business activities and assets of the Advisor.
